Archive: Please add to var documentation


Please add to var documentation
This tool is excellent, although the assembly-like language is incredibly painful!

However, can you please add these comments to the Var documentation secton 2.3.5.1:

The Var keyword cannot be used within a function or section definition (this has been driving me nuts!). It would be *very* useful to show a skeleton program, eg:

<compiler delcarations>

Var var1
Var var2
...

section 1
sectionEnd

section 2
sectionEnd

...

function 1
functionEnd

...

I stuggled to work this out, especially as the sample codes you have in the manual are only functions, and so assume this high-level knowledge.

The second point to add to the Var section is that all variables will only hold 1024 bytes. This is ok for small configuration strings but becomes a problem when you want to process larger data (eg I have been rewriting a Java properties file with data selected by the user at installation time).

Cool tool!

Cheers.


Added.
